Cheerleaders typically practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights 6:00-8:15. D10 and D8 practices will be adjusted once school starts.
When are games?
Games are Saturdays, beginning approximately the last week of August and running through the end of the season. Yes, we cheer in the rain so a clear poncho is a great idea to bring to games. All cheerleaders are expected to be at all games. We have a strong connection with our football teams and we are proud to cheer for them.
How does competition work?
Cheer competition is progressive from local (PYFCL) to regional to the national level. In order to advance to the next level, a team must earn 1st or 2nd place in their division. Teams who do not have competitors in their division must earn a minimum score. There is no “automatic advance”. Teams must perform their 2 ½ minute routine at their best. No second chances.
